Today I received a call from someone I do not know informing me that my new name in the community is "Hatemonger." This individual claimed to be my secret friend who had access to information and communications transpiring among some of those up in arms that I ask for fairness between the business owners and the residents. I was informed that the dubbing of this title came as a result of my investigating and asking questions on the possible corruption, kickbacks and the favortism being doled out by the leadership in the neighborhood.
In April, 2009, I read a flyer that I believe came in the Plain Dealer which advertised a Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Tremont, $125.00 per night, at 716 College Avenue. I thought nothing of it until I received a couple of calls from other residents who had read the same flyer and ask if there were permits. I checked and saw no application for permits.
My sister had an opportunity to speak to a truck driver making a delivery at this location who provided her with some information that this indeed was a delivery to a new business of a bed and breakfast. Again, no big deal. Over the past weekend, I received another call from a resident informing me that this residence was indeed being rented out as a bed and breakfast due to the fact that they knew the individuals who had stayed and again, I checked with Building and Housing and no applicaton for the proper permits had been applied for or issued.
In noting the requirements for providing sleeping accomodation I passed the info along to Henry Senyak and ask that he inquire of Sammy Catania since Mr. Catania seems to be in the know of who is establishing certain institutions in hopes that encouragement would be made to rectify the situation. Now, I am on a number of shit lists again.
How can an individual represent or attempt to represent a community if equal and fair expectations cannot be made. I really appreciate today's caller for while I have no objections to a bed and breakfast, in all fairness, there needs to be certain inspections by the health and fire departments to insure safety for the patrons which would inturn protect the owners of this type of business as well - which would really add to the clout of the neighborhood.
It has been long apparent that it is only if you play the "Simon Says" game in Tremont, that you are a worthwhile member of the community but as soon as you expect everyone to be on the same page, you are a no-account, worthless, good for nothing, piece of shit, low life, hatemonger.
There was also some reference made to drug dealers in close proximity of 716 College and I have also heard these allegations but a check of County Records show that the house in question was recently purchased by Tremont West Development Corp. (2406 Professor LLC) and the new renters were moved in by TWDC - this is a police matter. Another call for Sammy.
